Chapter 370: The Silence of a Forest

Kat PoV

Looking into the vine covered tree line of the forest, I had to frown as I noted the lack of noise coming from such a large place.

Something that, on the maps, looked to be a thousand miles long, was seemingly silent and uninhabited, which... was impossible.

Taking a deep breath, I followed the road down towards the edge of the forest, the trees looming so far above my head that they blocked out the bleary rays of the sun, shrouding the area in darkness.

Snow sparkled on the ground, completely untouched, while the frost covered bark of the trees shimmered with the little light that somehow managed to weave through the canopy.

My nose twitched as I smelt the air, only for my frown to deepen as the scents of crisp cold air and earth permeated my nostrils, while my ears picked up nothing inside.
